Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID 22647574
Year 2012
Title CAR/FoxP3-engineered T regulatory cells target the CNS and suppress EAE upon intranasal delivery

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result Efficiently suppressed ongoing inflammation leading to diminished disease symptoms.
Mechanism/pathway The engineered Tregs expressed both CAR and FoxP3, and in assays testing their function they significantly decreased T cell proliferation even in the presence of LPS-stimulated macrophages that are thought to take part in the transformation of Tregs into Th17 effector cells due to their production of activating cytokines.
